GRANOLA FOR OUTDOOR HIKING

This is a wonderful granola that I make regularly for hiking. You can substitute any dried fruit or other nuts that you would like. The important part is to add items you like and that are high in energy.

If you follow the general portion size below substitute your own variations, you should be fine for the syrup and cooking times.

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 325.
Combine all dry ingredients except fruit in a bowl and mix throughly. Set aside.
Combine all fruit and set aside.
In a small pot combine all wet ingredients and heat over medium-high heat whisking constantly to mix. Continue mixing until all ingredients are mixed and start to bubble up (usually about 5-7 minutes).
Pour 1/4 of mixture slowly over dry ingredients and then stir in. Repeat this process until the syrup is coating all of your dry ingredients.
Pour granola on a greased cookie sheet and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and mix the granola and place back in for another 10 minutes.
Remove and place in air tight bowl for storage.
Last step is to mix in all of your fruit. It is best to this as soon as the granola comes out of the oven as it is warm and still gooey. Once added, be sure to mix well to adequately incorporate all fruit into the granola.
